Watch: Channel 4 News question on partygate left PM reeling

'It’s almost like he’s given up at the end with his responses. The cracks are starting to show. No wonder they want to get rid of Channel 4."

The Prime Minister is braced for further questions about what he knew about alleged lockdown parties in No 10 after MPs ordered a third investigation into the partygate affair. It comes as a question from Channel 4 News left him stumped.

Chris Bryant, the chair of the Privileges Committee, described the Prime Minister as “toast”.

The Labour MP has recused himself “from any consideration” of the Prime Minister’s behaviour, having been vocally critical of Mr Johnson’s in the media, with a new chair to be elected for the investigation.

Speaking after the motion passed, Mr Bryant told Channel 4 News: “The big point is, he is toast.

“He knows he is toast because there aren’t enough Conservative MPs who are prepared to come in here today to vote to protect him.”

Starmer tweeted: “Honesty and integrity matter. Today’s humiliating climb-down showed that the Conservatives know they can no longer defend the indefensible. It has never been more clear that Boris Johnson’s authority is shot and he is unable to lead. Britain deserves better.”

Honesty and integrity matter.

Today’s humiliating climb-down showed that the Conservatives know they can no longer defend the indefensible.

It has never been more clear that Boris Johnson's authority is shot and he is unable to lead.

Britain deserves better.

"If it turned out the building you preside over… attracted more fixed penalty notices than any location or event in the history of lockdown – might that be a cause for resignation?"

And this is the true reason why @NadineDorries & the Tories want to sell off @Channel4 @Channel4News
They ask the big questions, they ask the important questions that politicians don't want to be asked. Tories despise proper journalism that they can't control! #ToryCorruption https://t.co/0zog9FDzeN

Johnson also didn’t like Gary Gibbon pointing out that more police fines (50) were handed out to 10 Downing Street than to any other address in the UK

The closest rival was a student house with 28 fines

It would be easy to draw a line under it. Just come completely clean about everything that happened. Instead it's always wait a little longer, I can't answer this or that, it's just not true. https://t.co/pTRkvyxevS

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
